Lincoln County Coastal Injury Specialists

Dedicated Legal Support for Oregon's Premier Coastal County

How do you handle personal injury cases in the heart of Oregon's coastal tourism economy? Lincoln County's unique position as home to three of Oregon's five marine reserves, including the prestigious Cascade Head UNESCO biosphere reserve, creates specialized legal challenges from fishing industry accidents to tourism-related injuries. Our experienced attorneys understand the seasonal employment patterns, marine industry risks, and coastal recreation liability issues that affect this scenic county of 51,117 residents, where tourism serves as the principal economic driver.


Known as the "Dungeness Crab Capitol of the World," Lincoln County's economy depends heavily on both commercial fishing operations and the tourism industry that generated a record $1.4 billion in spending. From Newport's working waterfront to the coastal communities that welcome millions of visitors annually, accidents involving commercial fishing equipment, recreational boats, and tourism facilities require attorneys who understand both maritime law and Oregon's unique coastal liability standards.


Whether your injury occurred on one of the county's five major rivers—the Alsea, Salmon, Siletz, Yachats, or Yaquina—or during coastal recreation activities, don't let insurance companies minimize your coastal injury claim.
